I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars.

i couldnt sleep last night, i had 'the hills of connemara' running through my head, i couldnt even see the waning moon properly as it was so low the hedges were hiding it~i was still awake at dawn and as my bed faces the window was treated to the sight of an apricot colored moon set against the background of a dawn blue sky~by this time i was actually too tired to get my camera, unlock the doors and go out to take a photo, so the one above is a 'net' found one, to give you an idea of what i could see.
but what a sight to greet the day with!
i had planned on doing the research for my next essay today, but first my dad phoned and we had a nice long chat about my studies and our family tree~the conversation turned to portsmouth dockyard and i discovered that he trained there as a coppersmith before becoming a policeman~i dont know why but i never knew that and feel really pleased, he also slipped into the conversation that he had had a 'crisis' and bought another motorbike...he generally does this when he has a 'crisis'!
...then my mum came around to see how the garden was coming along
...then i remembered i had to charge my ipod and update my druidcast
...then i decided to check my garden
...then i decided to blog...
ho hum, how quickly the day passes...so i am now listening to omnia and planning to e-mail my friend carp
*~*good job i am a week ahead with my work*~*

Funny, you say you spoke to your dad about your family tree and found out something you didn't know about him. I had called my dad yesterday to specifically ask him about our family tree (our family in Guam-for my daughters trip), I also found out he went to university and lived in Long Beach (Calif.) when he was younger. I was totally surprised, I never knew that! Okay, that's my 'strange-coincidence' piece, haha! I also relate to your day, much like mine! Stay well ~ER~
I remember how Daisy loved to sleep with the curtain open so the moon would shine on her face..
what kind of motorbike did your dad buy? do you ever go pillion?
do you realize it is nearly 2 years since our paths crossed? enjoy your midsummer as I enjoy my winter solstice xo
robyn, my dad has a selection of bikes~a 1942 matchless, which was a war time dispatch bike he has restored, an old bsa, a newer triumph and the new one is a harley dyna-glide...he regretted selling his last harley so that must have been his crisis!
i was brought up with bikes, he has had them continually since the age of 16 and i love going off with him!
yay a Harley !!! that is what we have.. I was brought up with bikes too.. but Speedway bikes, not road bikes... and I had a dreadful fear of them until 2 yrs ago I got onto Joe's Harley and haven't looked back.. I love it!!
when we come over to the UK we hope to hire a Harley for some of the time we are there.
